Archaeologists find oldest known trousers in the world

A team of archaeologists excavating tombs in western China uncovered the remains of two nomadic herders and a 3,000-year-old pair of trousers with woven patterns, which are the oldest known pair ever discovered, according to a report in Science News. The finding gives support to the theory that the transition from tunics to trousers was a practical development for horse-riders of the time.
